I saw the dreaded Flashing Light with Red Triangle Exclamation. [flash=]Brake Failure[/flash]. Front brake still works but the rear does not. It works for a few miles before the light flashes and the rear brake stops working. Turning the bike off for a while will bring it back for a while.

I did not think of trying anything. I assumed that when the computer said it's bad, there was no recourse. However, I'm willing to try anything before I spend 2700 bucks. I'll run to the dealer to pick up some supplies and that will be my Monday.

You mention resetting the brushes. I did not know the module could be disassembled. How hard is it to disassemble the module enough to remove the brushes and clean them?

They are definitely fixable. It will require a leap of faith to cut them open.
